RAM management is not upto the mark in 3gb version , only 900mb (approx) , with no apps running in background.

It is a very wrong conception that only 900 MB RAM is left with you but it is actually keeping the things in the RAM and the RAM management comes to the effect when you fire an application which will be consuming around 1.2 GB and the phone will be flushing out its memory in the real time in order to give you that extra Ram required for your application if your available RAM is showing less it doesn't mean that you will only have 900mb of RAM to run an application and if you feel something more than that you will not be getting the advantage
I am a user of this phone and I have already tested this in the real world environment and the phone is performing great while multitasking

RAM management is not good. Sometimes apps get killed while running in background even with 3-4 apps. No games in those apps.

Noticed the same behavior with official pie builds. On Oreo builds RAM management was nice.

Same with my PUBG. Poor ram management issue.

Nexus 7 free ram

I'm betting some of you have a Nexus 7, did you notice that the free ram is about 950MB out of the the Gig that it comes with?
Why do our phone only have like 720MB available if the tablet has so much more?
Both the tablet and our phones have 1 gig, so what gives?

Of that one gig of ram there is firm ware and the OS and some preloaded apps on the Nexus 7 on your phone it is about the same but with a skinned UI and then the carriers bloatware on top of that. It all takes up ram, so no bloatware or skinned UI gives you more ram on your Nexus 7.:good:

I think it's reserved for graphics or something. Guessing.

Its full ram is used to play apps and games on your Nexus 7.
Also...the nexus tablet doesn't have a cell antenna...So no mobile data to keep track of, those services are running on your phone all the time
A friend of mine bought At&t Galaxy S3 and it suppose to have 2gb Ram but when i check the phone it show 1.6GB ram and only 1.03gb available. so i guess it is used by system or graphic or something. Just like the computers that doesn't have dedicated graphic card so if your computer has 4gb ram you would have 3gb ram available the rest is reserved for graphic. i am just assuming that the same this is happening to our phone. if i remember correctly when i had CM9 and when i went to setting, about phone it showed only 768mb instead of 1gb.
I have all 16 on my computer.

Yeah, i'm sure your right, its reserved for video and whatnot, but why doesn't the Nexus 7 need that video ram used up? It's got a pretty fast video chip too...
My only gripe with the Note is the 1GB of ram. You only have about 350mb available and as we all know, Android caches stuff you run, but most of the time your not holding many apps in that free 350MB so its always restarting apps anyways. This phone (any ICS phone really) needs 2gb of ram.
I've used the S3 and yeah, its super snappy because so much more stays in all that extra active ram... Samsung saw the light and added extra ram, I hope this is a new trend... How do we get a 2gb chip soldered in place of the 1gb chip

I'm not giving up my Galaxy Note's huge screen Hoping the Note 2 gets 2gb of ram
Our phones are deliberately under-clocked to 716, some may say it's for the battery life but I think it's because the higher clock speeds lead to shorter phone life. Using custom kernels, you can clock back up or even overclock. The payment is made mostly in battery life, but if your ROM has a memory leak of even the smallest size, overclocking will open the dam and the phone will suffer for it. Also, the phone will run at a higher temperature, which for sure will end its life much faster than leaving it at 716. This is the way I feel about overclocking: If you get the performance you want, leave it alone.
Wtf??
Clock speeds have not a single thing to do with ram whatsoever
Overclock is for the cpu
Aside from the OCD of the available RAM number, how has this negatively impacted your user experience? Are applications running slowly or crashing?

Apps are continuously closing and having to be relaunched (slower). Back in the older days of android where apps were 20-30mb it wasn't a huge deal, but some of these new games/apps take up well over 100mb of ram. everything else in the background is closed as it needs to make room..
Would be nice to have more active app space for a much smoother "multitasking" experience.
Sounds like we need a high speed dev to create some software to access the SD card and use it as ram....
Is that even possible ????...Hmmmmmm

Are you running more than one game that takes 100+ MB of RAM at a time? Do you jump from one game to another in the middle of action?
Sounds like you want to just want to be able to adjust your LMK settings. I don't believe there is kernel that lets you do that yet, but I'm sure there will be eventually.

How much difference in RAM usage between 720p & 1080p display? Z5c RAM way too low?

How much difference in RAM usage between 720p & 1080p display? Z5c RAM way too low?
I've read several times, that a 720p display uses less RAM than a 1080p, plus the Z5c has a couple of extra features, like 500MB of ZRAM, which should make multitasking quite good and not a thing to worry about, despite the low RAM.
But here's the thing: Can anybody tell me, how much exactly is the difference in RAM usage between 720p and 1080p? I was never able to find hard numbers. Is it 50% because of half the resolution? Is it like 5% only or something else? Or is it flexible, depending on the apps? Or, if it's a fixed amount of megabytes, how much is it?
I'd love to get the Z5c due to the smaller size and it is about 100€ less than the Z5, but I'm also a heavy user and struggling very much with only 2GB of RAM in my current Z1.
I have at least 10 different apps running in the background all the time, like weather widget, several messengers, xposed, data counter, greenify, etc.
Plus, I usually like to open a lot of tabs in the browser, 10+ is quite often and my browser either craps out completely and closes itself or the tabs have to reload all the time, this even happens with only 2-3 tabs.
Same with apps.
They are almost always reloading, most of the time I can't even visit my "friends" in Simpsons Tapped out because the game crashes when I try to visit their cities or it crashes in my own town because it is too large.
The music player stops working during browsing or one of my running apps closes itself due to lack of RAM.
Is this normal, is the RAM really too low or am I just expecting too much from smartphones? I treat them like small computers, like the ads suggests. I guess, they are just too unrealistic.
The ONLY thing keeping me from going for the Z5c is the low RAM and this would be the only reason for the Z5.
Also, 2GB RAM is a 2012 standard, it's now 3 years old. After a usual usage time frame of the Z5c of 2 years, it's 5 years behind. I simply can't seem to get myself to buy an already outdated device in terms of RAM. For me, 4GB would be very welcomed.
Can anybody answer my questions regarding RAM usage or someone with a similar heavy use case can relate their experiences with the Z5c and RAM problems?
The RAM is more than sufficient. I have been using this phone for some time now and I can keep any number of apps open in the background and they do not close.
---------- Post added at 05:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:37 PM ----------
When I say "any number" I mean any number of apps that I need to keep running in the background. I've never run out of RAM on this phone. Whereas I see a lot of phones struggling with multitasking
I don't just mean many many foreground apps which I have started myself and switching between them, but also like 10+ apps which are running as soon as the phone has finished booting and which I want to run in the background all the time, without counting additional apps which I open on purpose. Apps always running are: Hangouts, facebook messenger, Whatsapp, weather widget, one handed mode, 3G Watchdog, onavo extend, proximity screen off, greenify, setcpu, automate it, afwall+, twilight. A total of 13 background apps plus many foreground apps. After everything has loaded after boot, I'm already down to 700MB free RAM, without any other open apps.
When RAM reaches 500 or below, the force closure starts.
How much is your available RAM after boot and with many apps running?
i don't know if you are aware of it, but xposed module "app settings" has an option to keep chosen apps persistent in memory. I cannot assure it works, but probably it does. You could enable it on the apps you need to be kept open and then fill your memory fully, then see if Android system kills other apps (camera, gallery,...) instead of your favourite ones. This might be a workaround for you, or might not: if you open lots of tabs on your browser, Android kills other apps, while Windows would become sluggish but keep everything open and use the swap file. Regarding the swap theme, Android has the Zram function, a kind of swap file in the ram, that compresses some RAM in the RAM itself (at the cost of some CPU power). This might also be useful but don't know if it is already supported by stock xperia firmware or it must be implemented in a custom kernel.
Well, available RAM really doesn't matter much. Lollipop especially is designed to take up as much RAM as possible. That makes the operations smooth and the processes run in the background. But I'll attach this here. I never clear the tasks and I always keep them running so I will have less RAM. But my apps don't close on me though
It seems 2GB ram doing fine on my Z5c, I guess because of it comes with ZRAM enabled in stock kernel(for the cost of cpu and battery). Yes, 720P spend much smaller amount of memory and cpu compared to FHD/2K. There are many reports confirmed on Z1/Z2/Z3/S6 board when people used resolution changer and found much more free ram available, you can try QHD 960x540 if you want even more free ram.
I got 1GB free ram after boot up and same with my S6 but since my S6 running 2K resolution with poor Samsung memory management, actually the Z5c performs better when deal with the killing apps problem. If you will use greenify donate ver to freeze all bloatware I think memory is good, the android 6.0 seems to have better memory and battery life as well.
Can you tell me more about the resolution changer? Is it dangerous and can lead to a bootloop or not booting at all?
Z have 2gb of ram and 1080p display and have no ram issue..

I don't use it on my S6. It won't bootloop or not booting but just some stock apps will have menu problem bcoz they are hard coded for native resolution, you may need to decompile those apks and edit some .xml files manually to modify the default resolution to make it works.
even my XZU with 2GB of RAM and 1080FHD is still perfectly able to multitask. no need to panic for such 2GB of RAM. yet. :fingers-crossed: well maybe when there's a game with big memory requirement in 2-3years time then you'll need more than 2GB but i bet it's not a game worth playing coz it's not mobile optimized and the devs are too lazy to optimize.
Default set at 507MB ZRAM, you can increase it to 1024MB if you wish
Yes, but only with root? And then you lose the warranty, camera functions, miracast and such because you need to unlock the bootloader.
A root exploit without bl unlock, like on my Z1, is what I'm hoping for. I also don't understand why manufacturers don't implement to gain root access via a simple reboot. Make the option available, display maybe 2-3 warnings and info screens before, then if you click yes, a reboot happens and you're rooted. Easy as this. No features lost, no exploits necessary which take forever to arrive, if at all, and involve downgrading and such. I think one manufacturer enables exactly this.
It would be unthinkable on a Windows or Linux system if there wouldn't be the option to work with full admin rights...so why is it the norm on Android and nobody bats an eye?!
Btw: I've tried the resolution changer and changed the resolution to 720p. Although this should have decreased the RAM usage, it actually increased it by around 100MB. How is that even possible?

I think you answered your own question here. If you need a whole lot of RAM, you should probably look somewhere else.
yes, it needs root and you loss warranty and DRM and such stuffs.
Linux like to cache things, if u got more free ram it might just cached even more. It won't used more 100MB ram in reality.
The thing here is the Android 64-bits.
1080p device with 2GB RAM in Lollipop 32 bit = more than 1000MB of free RAM (average).
720p device with 2GB RAM (and zRAM) in Lollipop 64 bit = more than 550MB of free RAM (average).
Now, the resolution mostly affect the used RAM when gaming, there is not a big difference outside games.

I have never seen free memory more than 1GB of RAM with my XZU. Right now it hovers around 600MB of RAM.
for gaming it is not an 'always' case so memory cleaning at the end should happened only 1% of the time you use the phone.
Who cares about how much free ram there is? The ram is meant to be used and Android is made to use the RAM for caching and so on.
Talk instead about how well it runs in practice.
Anyone that has experienced any problems that could be because of the device only having 2GB of ram? Let us know.
If not, then I guess the fact that the Z5C "only" have 2GB ram is not a problem...(?)
Here,me! I'm having a lot of problems because of low RAM and the whole purpose of this thread is to find out if the Z5c with its 720p display and zram and such makes a huge difference in RAM performance, if at all compared to my Z1 with also 2GB which is always reloading tabs, crashing games and apps, force closing apps due to lack of RAM, redrawing the home screen when exiting apps and so on.
If there's no big difference, then devices with only 2GB are not for me.
It's good that Android uses all the RAM for caching, but I strongly believe that in my case there is simply not enough RAM and that's why all my problems occur.
And also Z5c uses LPDDR4 RAM if I am not mistaken. So that's actually more efficient. Well I have faced ZERO problems with multitasking. But I dunno about you

Clearly this video shows that 6GB ram is better than 4GB ram. Would have been nice if the the comparison included the 6GB version of Mate 9. For example, with an extra 2GB memory, if app is taking up 250MB (maybe on the high side), you can hold 8 more apps in memory without significantly impacting performace. Since Mate 9 appears to be a little faster the 6GB version might edge out Oneplus 3t. Hopefully someone can do such comparison. Regardless both are great phones. Just depends on what meets you needs.
This looks like very artificial circunstances. I wont be opening 5 game apps simultanely.

3GB RAM version vs. 4 GB RAM version of Redmi Note 4

Hello!
Do You think that the 3GB RAM version of Redmi Note 4 will be sufficient? I's about 1.5 GB left to the user after switching on the phone. In future there will be updates for MIUI or maybe OS to Android 8.
Shall the 3 GB be enough in your opinion or should I be worried and definitely go buy a 4 GB RAM version?
I do plan on getting LineageOS installed on it BTW.
@androidbadboy
Note that the 4GB RAM version has 64GB of memory as opposed to 32GB for the 3GB RAM. If you plan on downloading lots of apps/games, then you should go with the 4GB one. Otherwise 3GB RAM should be enough for your average daily use. Android handles memory quite well nowadays.

Agree with you.
My one is 3GB version.
I've been using it for month. Every time I check the memory status are always show free 1GB~1.3GB...
Switching game to game are never lag. (Clash Royal, candy crush, clash of clans, mobile legend...)
Despite I don't feel any lag at all, I still not feel so satisfied the memory occupied more than 60%.
and this is still very worth to save that USD40.

I second that.
I have a 3GB RAM version of Xiaomi and I 'm worried as I monitor RAM usage while launching built in simple apps like camera and gallery as they are eating memory like ice-cream on a hot summer day. I'm not sure how it will respond to new versions of MIUI, Android, roms etc.
Having a phone below 3GB of RAM is a TORTURE! Don't let anyone fool ya that it's not. Maybe if you install a special low-ram custom made rom designed for simple tasks with cut out services or whatever it is that the dev make to actually being able to use the phone with Android 6, 7 or even 8 on board.
BTW there are very low priced phones on the market with 1,5 GB of RAM - that's a suicide! Do not approach these kind of devices!

It's bad idea. You would shake before any upgrade of MIUI, Android, rom etc cause it may lead to slow down your phone to a very irritating degree.
But first, tell me what's the overall price for the 2GB version and what's the overall price for the 3GB version and in both cases tell me the full model name.
Tell me also what will you do with that phone other than calling, sms texting.

4gb just let you have more apps before its killed by android. If you're not multitasking in 10 apps, you wont feel the difference.

More than enough. You need 4gb if:
You install all the chat client: fb, wa, bbm, line, telegram, skype.... Then you double them with dual apps.
Or you want to split screen... Gaming while reading multiple tabs of websites while pip-ing video / streaming spotify.
Yeah, its insane....
And when you do above things. 4gb wont help you too... Your processor will lags because of too many process.
For me 4gb is a waste, but it offer +32gb storage which is more matter. You can save more picture, videos.
If you're not saving many data, its better to go 3/32... Remember that the +1gb ram and +32gb might use more power too.
Thanks for all the answers, I get the picture now.
I think there would be a newer better phone out there before I would make use of that 4 GB of RAM.
Would You agree?
There is a note 4 model which has 3Gb Ram and 64Gb storage I think it is Mediatek. Like this one advertised here
Are there any ROMs for it?

I never had a problem with a 1.5GB RAM device :b. My S3 Neo performs blazing fast on Nougat and my Y5 too which is a gig of a device

Seriously? I'd have to see it to believe it.
on stock rom there's no way these can provide good experiance while enjoying phone.
One thing you people don't see is that less ram usage doesn't mean a faster phone. 3gb might be enough for you but I'd recommend the 4gb one as it has 64gb of memory and you wouldn't find much of a lag for a few years atleadt.
IDK how you use your phone or neither care
My 3GB mido performs blazing fast on both MIUI and Pixel Experience. Games run great, Apps load fast, Web browsing is buttery smooth. I use my phone mostly for some gaming, YT videos and work.

Multitasking/RAM

You're busy and don't have time to wait, which is why you need to stop reading this thread and get back to organizing your Pogs. Rate this thread to express how the Xiaomi Mi A2 performs when multitasking. A higher rating indicates that the Xiaomi Mi A2 keeps many apps in memory so that they don't need to reload, and that when moving between apps, transitions are smooth and performance is excellent.

4GB or 6GB
Hi
I don't need 128 64GB is fine, wondering if the extra 2GB will make a difference in performance in long run?
Thanks
Im upgrading from Redmi Note 4 with 3/32 to Mi A2 4/64 and it was pretty smooth. Sufficient for my daily driver.

The internal memory seems to be faster in the 128GB version so I'd get that
With the 6GB version 20% more expensive or £40 is it really that much better?
I don't game or do Facebook
Thanks
poor RAM management, especially after the last update.

Indeed. With the latest update, even I have noticed little sluggishness and app loading time increasing.
